Cover Letter for Employee Trainer

Mitchell is using the following cover letter (and resume) to follow up on a phone call he had with someone in his professional network, Carol Pilsner. Carol is the Director of Human Resources at a company Mitchell would like to work for. The good news is that Carol has a job opening and she wants Mitchell to apply for it.

Mitchell didn't waste any time. As soon as he got off the phone with Carol, he jumped on his computer, updated his resume (see Combination Resume Sample: Employee Training), composed this cover letter, and sent his packet to Carol asap.

About This Sample Cover Letter for Employee Trainer

There are a few things to note about Mitchell's cover letter. It's being sent as hardcopy via snail mail because that's what the employer requested. However, he's also sending it via email, using just the body of this cover letter for the email message.

In the second paragraph, Mitchell refers to two tasks he will complete within the next two months. These are items they talked about on the phone. Mitchell highlights them by formatting them in bullet point statements, almost like a checklist. In his email version, he'll change those bullet points to dashes because bullet points don't always transfer well from one email system to another.

Ending a follow-up letter with a "thank-you" is a good idea. Mitchell does it in a way that allows his reader to feel like a mentor to him. Nicely done!
